My dog ate ham, now throwing up and weak. Could it be food poisoning?

Question

My dog ate normally yesterday except she had ham. Today she’s throwing up, is weak, has a decreased appetite, and is out of it. Could she have food poisoning? If so what do I do? Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | spayed | 6 years old | 90 lbs

High fat food like ham can sometimes cause pancreatitis in dogs. I am attaching a handout with more information about pancreatitis below. https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4952412 I would recommend having your veterinarian examine Sadie, give her some anti-nausea medication and determine what other treatments she may need to help make her feel better. Pancreatitis can be severe, so I would recommend having her evaluated ASAP. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and that Sadie feels better soon. Thanks for using PetCoach.
